A South African youth choir received a standing ovation on America’s Got Talent following their rendition of Vicky Sampson’s song, African Dream.
The show’s judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough were in awe following the The Ndlovu Youth Choir’s stunning performance.
They received four yeses from the judges and have now moved onto the next stage of the competition
Simon said: “We’ve always been waiting for a choir like this, something we’ve never heard before. Your energy was literally bouncing off to me right there, it was a great addition. You, I’m going to remember.”
Hailing from a small village in Limpopo, the Ndlovu Youth Choir, most of the youngsters come from poor communities.
